![]() The opening sequences of Half-Life and its expansions ( Blue Shift and Opposing Force) reveal much about the facility. ![]() Black Mesa, as the same announcement states, is an equal opportunity employer. It is also said that jobs in low-clearance security and materials handling are available. During the tram ride that opens Half-Life, an announcement on the public address system states that the facility is seeking employees with backgrounds in theoretical physics, biotechnology, and various other high-tech scientific disciplines. A large amount of classified research is carried out, including the development of high-tech weapons and defense systems, research into extra- dimensional travel, teleportation, and the study of Xen. In addition to this legitimate research, several secret projects are also carried out at Black Mesa, which are deliberately left vague. The facility also serves as a base for decommissioning nuclear weapons. Research at the facility includes both pure research and applied science. Much of the work undertaken at the facility involves fairly standard scientific research, such as radiation, rocketry, theoretical physics, lasers, experimental propulsion, hydraulics, robotics, hydroelectricity, genetics, applied mathematics and a very wide spectrum of research into chemistry and all manner of physics research. The Black Mesa facility is built over several decommissioned missile silo complexes constructed during the 1950s, which have been converted into a vast civilian institute for the research of every conceivable scientific discipline. 4.4 Sector C Test Labs and Control Facilities.Black Mesa is also apparently kept supplied by a conventional freight rail linked to the outside, managed in the.The complex also features multi-story car parks (where only can be found), arsenals of nuclear and conventional weapons, and a local electric rail materials transport network.The complex is dominated by a number of underground laboratories, test areas (including an ), and administration offices, most of which contain very high-tech equipment, and even a launch site.Chemical processing plants are also seen and as the facility is located within the desert water treatment plants are required to recycle waste water. The facility is self-sufficient, housing its own: ventilation, cold and hot water, central heating, sanitation, drainage, and power generation systems including a and multiple types of electrical generators and reactors, some using nuclear technology. ![]() Black Mesa can be completely sealed from the outside. The complex is also equipped with and alarms, as well as heavy blast doors that may shut down in case of fire, explosion or other event. , carrying firearms and trained for emergencies, are present in all of the facility.
